Additive Manufacturing of Aluminum Alloys

摘要

For decades, additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing (3DP), has grown and proliferated worldwide into a multibillion dollar industry encompassing many different technologies and types of materials. AM methods embody a group of emerging technologies that create a functional 3D object from any one of a variety of materials, including aluminum alloys, by adding material a layer at a time until the final shape is achieved.1
